Enabling its more than 22,000 global partners to better differentiate,
compete and succeed to today's dynamic marketplace, Oracle today announced
the official launch of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Specialized.

Building on its robust foundation of Enablement 2.0, Oracle also announced new and
enhanced business-building partner tools. These new resources make it
easier for partners to manage their Oracle relationships, gain the
appropriate skills to achieve specializations and expand business
opportunities with new and existing Oracle customers.

First unveiled at Oracle OpenWorld
2009, the OPN Specialized program allows partners to formally certify
specializations to differentiate themselves and their offerings, be
recognized for their expertise and become preferred solution providers to
Oracle customers.

New Tools Help Partners Achieve Specialization; Increase Learning and
Business Opportunities

As a key enablement resource for the Oracle OPN Specialized program,
the new media-rich OPN tools provide partners easy access to Oracle
training, order booking, events, and other capabilities that will help them
learn, grow and profit with Oracle.

New and enhanced tools include:

P&E System: The new Programs & Enrollments system provides
partners with an easy to use automated method of managing their partner
profiles. P&E allows partners to apply for specializations as well as track
their OPN agreement status. This tool greatly enhances the partners
experience with Oracle from the very first engagement.

Partner Ordering Portal (PoP): The Oracle Partner Ordering
Portal, now available in 35 countries and eight languages, allows partners
and Value-Added Distributors (VADs) to more efficiently enter their Oracle
orders online. Enhancements streamline processing and save Oracle, partners
and VADs valuable time and resources by reducing corrections and order
processing time. In addition, the PoP allows users to track orders and
Oracle License and Service Agreement requests in real-time. Other
enhancements include easy tracking and management of customer deals,
cross-border billing, partner specific discounting, and copy / share cart
functionality, amongst other new features.

OPN Enablement Environment: Making it easier and more
cost-effective for partners to gain the skills they need to become
Specialized, the new OPN Enablement Environment delivers a platform for
supporting partner training activity including hands-on Oracle Boot Camp labs which accompany the Enablement 2.0 Boot
Camp program. The new training infrastructure will also allow partners to
virtually demo several Oracle technologies -- gaining invaluable, hands-on
Oracle product and solution experience without complex installation
requirements or costly travel.

Enhanced Solutions Catalog: The enriched Solutions Catalog
further enables partners to differentiate themselves and gain recognition
from both Oracle and customers. Through new multimedia capabilities,
partners can now upload Flash file demos into the Solutions Catalog, and
embed their YouTube videos in the Solutions Catalog, allowing them to
showcase visual images of their solutions, as well as speak to potential
users directly through pre-recorded videos.

"The Oracle PartnerNetwork Specialized program was designed to allow
our valued partner community to differentiate themselves and reap the
benefits of being recognized by customers for their in-depth Oracle
technology or services expertise," said Judson Althoff, Oracle Senior Vice
President of Worldwide Alliances and Channels. "The new partner tools build
on Oracle's robust Enablement 2.0 resources and provide partners the
resources they need to achieve specialization, more easily conduct business
with both Oracle and customers, and gain the valuable training they need to
grow their business and profit with Oracle."
